All Motorola devices pulled from the Optus website

What do you do when you launch 3 low-end devices and stop supporting them, as well as launching another device 6 months late? Well if you’re Optus, you pull them from your website and pretend none of that ever occurred. However, if you still want a Quench, DEXT, Backflip or Milestone, you could always head to your local Optus dealer and see if they still stock them, but why would you do that?

They pulled it not long after I brought it to their attention via Twitter that Motorola had just stated on their website, no updates past 1.5 Not sure of any direct relation with that but it seems like it.

I remember the young Motorola Rep that came to the dealer I work at. He was almost patronizingly enthusiastic about the blur phones, asking about sales. I basically told him they were s*** in those words. Pretty much ended the discussion there.

Hmm I wonder whether they are doing a line refresh for Motorola. Motorola seem to have done this with their announcements (Milestone 2, Defy), but of course Optus would wait 6-12 months before putting it up on their site. My guess is people realised these phones werent any good anymore (well apart from the Milestone maybe) and they werent selling so they pulled them.
